Title: is it possible
Post by: notyouraverageguy on July 20, 2010, 04:32:54 PM
for a transman to ever get a body like this?

Or is it just out of the question?

I've seen a couple of transguys that were really built through hitting the gym a lot.

I hope so too.

I just started working out about a month ago, &I plan to give it my all to get that ideal body.
Hopefully soon ill have the help of T as well.

I've seen transguys that are buff, but none that are cut like this. The abs, the pelvic V, the protruding biceps.

I don't think you've got much to worry about if it's cutting you're after.

I mean, I already have obliques showing through. I might not be as bulky as that guy, but I'm a bit cut.

It is.  I've seen some guys on youtube that look like that after being on T for a year or so.

I firmly believe that most anything is possible, however improbable it may seem.

He worked out a lot before he got his surgery, so that has to account for something I'd think. Gotta admire the dedication.

Yeah, I seem to recall his pictures being up somewhere on transbucket, and he had a clearly defined six pack at the time of surgery.

Check out pictures of Balian Buschbaum and Ryan Sallans.  They're both pretty buff transguys.  Also, Buck Angel is fairly well-built, but keep in mind before doing any image searches that he's an adult film star!  Be careful!

Once you've got T, it's no more or less possible for a transguy than it is for a cisguy.  In fact, male puberty is one of the few times a human being is capable of both putting on muscle and cutting fat simultaneously, so definitely take advantage of that time period, hit the weights, and eat above your maintenance calories!  I'd also recommend checking out bodybuilding forums online.  Their members are generally very knowledgeable about the science of putting on muscle, and can give you specific advice on nutrition and exercise based on your body type.

I don't see why not. Having hips to hide may be an issue but if you don't have much of those...I don't see why not. Even if you have non male hips you can still get the build of a really buff and cut man. I'm starting to have a faint 4 pack show though and I'm getting the male V line...if you know what I mean by that. The V heading downwards on the stomach.

Post by: notyouraverageguy on July 21, 2010, 03:51:06 PM
Well see, all these guys are thick &have big arms, but that's all I see. Not a defined stomach, or the V...
That's y I was wondering, I haven't seen a transguy like that.
Title: Re: is it possible
Post by: Lachlann on July 22, 2010, 01:17:01 AM
There's no reason why you can't. Like said, the hips might get in the way, but my obliques are getting pretty defined now that I'm on T.

Personally, the cut look isn't something I'm interested in because it's more for show, but I wouldn't mind a body like that either, lol.

Idk if this has been mentioned but it has to be possible. Natural women look like this, so I don't see why someone who was born in a woman's body and is taking T couldn't achieve this look.

 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FtBjlndDkk#)Take a look at Andy.  Meow, amirite?  ;D
Also, Buck Angel (who is trans) does some bodybuilding and has a whole series on YouTube about nutrition and fitness for FTMs who want to get in great shape.  Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZlBfYd_4m0# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZlBfYd_4m0#)

Guys look really average, trans or not.  You can get there but you have to get informed about fitness, nutrition and bodybuilding.  T makes a body like that possible for trans guys.  You can still bulk up a bit without T, don't get me wrong, but the definition takes less when you're in normal male T ranges.

I think it may be possible, with T &the will.

How would hips look in all this?

It's definitely possible. It's hard for anyone - cis or trans to get a body like that. It's still totally possible. You also need to have a pretty low body fat percentage to have your 6 pack show. If you work out A TON, and then you still have a regular body fat percentage, you won't be able to see the 6 pack.

I'm always drooling over pictures of Balian Buschbaum. He's really gorgeous.
Google his name, or go to the gallery section of his website.

As far as how hips look in all this....I'll point to towards live journal. There's a community called ftmfit that's all about working out and stuff where I've seen some guys who are post op post pics of them. There are some pics of guys who look really good and have hips. Yeah they're noticable. But I doubt at that point people would really think more than "huh, that's interesting" and move on. Not all guys are straight up and down.

And the reason you don't see defined stomachs on these guys...is cause they're not trying for that. You get what you target and work on.

Totally possible.. seen some great bods on google.

Post by: notyouraverageguy on July 23, 2010, 01:13:39 AM
Yeah. I guess it seems like most trans guys target their arms.
I wonder how my hips will do though.
I wish I knew these guys' secrets, besides being active &eating healthy.. Like what exactly do they do.. Or are they just blessed with high metabolism.

Well, your routine should be catered to you, not someone else. You could know all their secrets, but it might not do much at all because your body is different.
